Which phone should I get

Options
I am a bit of a technophobe and currently have a San Francisco I I on orange on a contract and am looking to replace it. My current deal is less than a tenner a month and I never use all the 100 mins and 500 texts. I want a phone that is easy to use with a good camera (my current one is crap) and would like to be able to access the internet. It doesn't have to be the latest phone and I am prepared to buy a phone and get a sim only deal. Any recommendations ?

    Easy to use is subjective, the SF1 is old now so as you can imagine camera technology has improved along with hardware features, so next to any current handset may exceed your requirments within budget.

    Huawei g300 and ZTE Blade V seem to be the most recent "OSFs". Both are available for under £100 and have 5Mp camera with LED 'flash'. Search the board for 'huawei' and 'zte'.

    Get an Ovivo SIM and no contract to worry about.
  • Can recommend the Huawei ascend g300, have one myself, believe it is on special offer at Argos, or try the Huawei Y300 which is a bit more advanced

    The Huawei Y300 is the same price at CPW as the G300 is at Argos (£70). Go for the Y300, pair it with the previously mentioned Ovivo SIM and Robert's yer mother's brother.
